Assumptions behind these numbers
- Model assumptionStart charge 100%, arrive with 15% in reserve, charge up to 80% at each stop.
- Model assumptionUsable battery: 100% of each vehicle's listed capacity (the listed capacity may be gross or net; no correction is applied).
- Model assumptionSpeed: consumption starts from each vehicle's listed real-world efficiency, times a speed factor of 1.00 (1.00 = no speed adjustment).
- Vehicle dataWeather: each vehicle uses its own hot, normal and cold factor from our vehicle data, so consumption = efficiency x 1.00 / factor. Hot is 25 °C and above, normal is 10-25 °C, cold is below 10 °C.
- Model assumptionCharging speed: average power = min(vehicle peak kW, 150 kW cap) x 0.60 taper, plus 5 min per stop.
- MethodRange, energy and cost all use the same consumption figure. Energy is measured at the battery; charging losses are not included.
- MethodCharging stops are estimated from range and the charging window. They are not verified charging stations.
- Market dataCost: not shown, because no electricity market price is available for Turkey.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 213 g/kWh (Turkey, Ember Climate, Monthly average, May 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

The 1,056-kilometer drive from Istanbul to Trabzon, which takes 738 minutes, is a demanding but feasible route for an electric vehicle. Although both cities have a normal climate, which avoids cold-weather range reduction, the significant distance requires careful planning. As this is a domestic route within Turkey, there are no cross-border logistical hurdles. EV drivers should expect to stop at least three to four times for charging, depending on vehicle range and efficiency, and should verify the availability and compatibility of stations, especially as they approach Trabzon, where infrastructure is sparse. The terrain, while not specified, likely includes mountainous sections in the latter half, which could increase energy consumption.
